The Enid Blyton Society

Seems to be getting a full DVD release in Australia this winter

Well that's good news! I hope the postage won't be too terrible.

Merged with an older thread.

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere on the forum but I couldn't see anything about it. Gary mentioned it was getting a release at the end of 2016 and it's now available on eBay. As it's a 6 disc set I assume its complete, however does anyone have it? Can they tell me whether Smugglers Top is included (unlike on the Dutch release)? And is the picture quality good or as ropey as the Dutch release?

Okay, so as I got no replies I assumed no-one has got this yet. So I took the plunge and bought it here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/More-Adventur ... 2749.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; £24.96 with free postage.

It arrived within a week and I'm pleased to announce appears to be complete with excellent picture and sound quality. An absolute must have if all you've got is the Dutch version. Here's some pics for you to peruse...

Best,

Intriguing that it's called MORE ADVENTURES WITH... as if it was some kind of sequel rather than an adapatation of the books

Yes, I thought that. Although the back cover says the 1978 series is released by the same company, so perhaps their marketing strategy is to try and catch the nostalgia junkies that snapped up the earlier series? Especially as it says this version was never shown in Australia or New Zealand. Either way, I'm happy as I now have lovely copies of the 70s and 90s series and can junk the De Vijf box set

I've ordered this DVD today, I'm glad I managed to source this version, which is complete, as I thought I might have to take the plunge and purchase the Dutch version, and the price isn't that steep when you consider some of the other fees quoted for Blyton DVD'S. Think it's just shy of £30, which for the complete set is about par, especially when it's hard to get hold of.

This finally arrived today, when I'll get round to watching them heaven knows, especially now I'm back at work.

These are by all accounts more faithful to the original period Enid set the FF in, although there might be some license with the plots from reading other people's comments.
